💼 **US Could Acquire Stake in OpenAI**
The Trump administration is discussing acquiring a government equity stake in OpenAI. The idea is to create a fund similar to a Public Wealth Fund, so that a portion of the profits from AI development returns to US citizens. Negotiations have been ongoing for over a year; OpenAI is valued at more than $850 billion and is preparing for an IPO.
🌍 This could set a precedent where the government becomes not only a regulator but also a shareholder in major AI laboratories.
👤 Implementing this plan would allow for the distribution of wealth created by automation through direct or indirect dividends to citizens.
